  1. You are correct on most of the terminals like terminal 1 but terminal 5 for Mariner is pay when you leave which causes a backup. Suppose to be converted when thay get the equipment but time unknown
  2. We always check our agent/site price & extras on lap top on ship before we go and get on board price. Even if we booked on board and get obc and transfer to agent the agencies benefits change as their price margin may drop. Example our agency gives free tips and often group OBC and even onboard the obc etc may turn out to be total priced more than our agency. Do your homework before going into appt on ship
  3. Thanks for sharing your trip and making Diamond Plus. Safe travels for your party . Nancy & Bob
  4. if I am changing cabins I put one on new bags just as a reminder for cabin steward. Have only had to change cabin 6 or 8 times but learned a trick that might save a lost article.We bought clear short zipper clothing bags I believe last year for like 15 for 10.98 from amazon. We take all our hanging stuff and place in 4 0r 5 bags and leave in closet. The cabin steward uses a roll cart like Hampton Inn and they normally load all lose articles and pull down the passageway or into crew area and up the elevator to the new cabin. had several of wife's tops slid off before and lost in shuffle. Bags also good for plaving in between articles for packing
  5. shorts and non collared shirt(T shirt fine for lunch).dressed liked that last week two times for lunch and every morning for pinnacle breakfast on Harmony
  6. Just some info and on the Harmony last week and not the Oasis they served both bottles and cans of Heinekin at coastal kitchen/suite lounge.
  7. same money maker as Cuba ehen you had to buy a one day visa.Been on quite a few cruises but our first to Bermuda. Don't plan to return after Sept.
  8. We made Pinnacle on a three BTB on the Indy the same day we had our 52nd wedding anniversary. Will make our 1050 in about 10 weeks on the Allure. Nancy & Bob
  9. May 8th & June 12th super easy except forb 30 minute delay may 8th for coast guard inspection
  10. On Harmony May 8th and June 12th. Boarded at 1030 and started boarding in terminal at 1100. May 8th they did do a coast guard inspection that delayed everthing 30 minutes Bob
  11. 7620 bed to bathroom. 06,10,14,18,22 Bed to balcony. We are in 7622 in oct.
  12. THe current federal guidelines expire July 14th on government payments and have not been funded yet. Hopefully CONGRESS will get the job done and payments for tests will continue as usually
  13. We were on Mariner 2 times in late April and two in late May. Dudley was the Suite Concierge. Twice our cards would not access lounge. Only Diamond. lounge. 38 Pinnacle aboard but the week before had a larger number and blocked from Suite lounge and open Pinn lounge in library. Went to guess services first day and issued new cards that also didn't work. Had to have Dudley issue all 38 from his computer in Lounge. Maneesh Coopoosamy was the Loyalty nAmbassador but was being transffered in two weeks. Had this also happen on Independence and had Grecia Roca give us a blank gold card for door. Bob
  14. Plenty of people at 5 to direct you to pickup, luggage drop etc and then you pull out and circle back up ramp to park. Bob
  15. We just got off Mariner this morning. We arrived shortly after 3am for a medical emergency. Captain told us Friday night at dining hour he was doing top speed for the rest of the cruise to get emergency off. You pay when you leave and there was a backup in all three lanes. Not like pier 1 on entry. we got off at 730 just after walkoff. No trouble with short 100ft walk to south elevator. Just 10 minute backup paying.
  16. JUst a little note. You are backt o back. When you get to entry machine to put your card in may or may not be and attendant there. either way just swipe the card or he will assist and do it and enter to get your spot. Come back in two weeks.will only be charged for 1 week.If you insist on paying for another week they may be able to charge you twice. Have done 11 back to backs there since we started back. Oct. 28 day. one charge. Enjoy. see you in June . Leaving at 800 to go this morning to Harmony.
  17. HI fellowq cruiser: Agree with the other posters but in June the parking at terminal one will be a little more relaxed.Parked there five times in the last 2 months and usually garage fills up pretty fast with Harmony,Independence and Mariner sharing the week. Starting this week and through the summer Mariner will shift to Terminal 5 because of her 8,5,8 cruise s so only two ships using garage for the week. In case full surface lot s south and east used. We go out of 1 tommorow on Harmony ,23rd on Mariner , and Harmony on June 12th. When you arive at terminal go in right side using the left of the three lanes and you will u turn on ground floor and drop luggage and then go forward u turn agaiin up ramp to pay attendant. Just a little note we often get servere rain and HAIL storms in central Florida this time of year. Like parking in garage and pay more than a dirt surface lot.
  18. Good Morning: Appreciate any info you can give on luggage dropoff area and procedure and if you pay in advance to park like pier 1 or when you leave. Docked there on Mariner last week and we were bused back to terminal one. Going out of 5 on may 23rd. Bob
  19. I usually wear a long sleeve dress shirt, slacks. Stopped the tuxedo. (it Shrunk) many years ago and carried the blue blazer a few years now long pants and nice pants for dinner and shorts for other two meals. Bob
